A Christmas Story Collectibles – We Triple-Dog Dare You to Look!

The movie landscape is filled with memorable Christmas movies. Few are more beloved today than A Christmas Story. The nostalgia-fueled film captures the "good old days" to perfection, incorporating both the magic and the horror of the holiday season. Today, fans and collectors have a ton of A Christmas Story collectibles to chase.

When it was released in 1983, A Christmas Story was only a moderate success. But thanks to the magic of home video and annual 24-hour marathons on TBS, the movie has gone on to achieve a massive following with very few holiday rivals. Filled with colorful characters and plenty of memorable quotes, it's the perfect film for a broad range of collectibles. And that's just what's happened in recent years.

Here's a list of some of the best A Christmas Story collectibles and memorabilia available.

Top A Christmas Story Collectibles and Memorabilia

Original A Christmas Story Theatrical Posters

A Christmas Story Collectibles - We Triple-Dog Dare You to Look! 1Outside of costumes and props used to make the movie, original theatrical posters are one of the most collectible items from A Christmas Story. Thanks to numerous VHS, DVD and Blu-ray releases, the artwork has become an iconic piece of modern movie history.

A second poster features Ralphie getting hit in the face with a snowball with the tagline, "It's better to give than receive." This one isn't nearly as recognizable but is still very popular with movie poster collectors.

While most movie posters today can be found with double-sided printing and are often rolled up, this wasn't the case back in 1983. Chances are, the original movie posters you find will have evidence of folding and the creases that go along with it.

Depending on the condition, original posters can run several hundreds of dollars. If you're simply looking for a display piece, reprints are widely available for less than $20.

Leg Lamps

Is there any item more iconic to A Christmas Story than the infamous leg lamp? BB guns and bunny suits are great, but they're bigger parts of the broader childhood experience. But a leg lamp? They're the "major prize" among A Christmas Story collectibles.

Leg lamps come in all shapes and size. They range from night lights to replicas measuring almost four feet tall.

Just be careful that if you put out a leg lamp for the holiday season that it doesn't become the source of a major family controversy.

A Christmas Story Autographs

Autographs from the stars of A Christmas Story are, for the most part, very affordable today. Although many of the kids continued to work in film, none reached A-list superstardom. The most common are Peter Billingsley (Ralphie) and Scott Schwartz (Flick). Ian Petrella (Randy) and Zack Ward (Scut) appear to be the most common.

Signed photos are the most popular option. However, collectors can find autographs on just about anything related to the film including action figures, scripts and even board games.

To ensure items are authentic, look for items that are certified by reputable third-party companies like PSA/DNA.
